To Set up a Video Output
Assign video sources or buses to the output and the output to a framebuffer. Some outputs are fixed to a specific video signal.
Tip: Refer to To Configure Audio Outputs for information on embedding audio sources in the video outputs.
-
Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Outputs.
-
Click on the Output Type button for the output that you want to assign an output type to.
Note: You can only assign up to 4 outputs to NDI HX.- None — turn off the output.
- NDI — assign the output to a standard NDI® (high bandwidth) stream. The NDI® streams will appear as the network name of the PC running Carbonite Code followed by the name of switcher output.
- NDI HX — assign the output to an NDI HX (low bandwidth) stream using the AVC (H.264) compression standard. The NDI® streams will appear as the network name of the PC running Carbonite Code followed by the name of switcher output.
-
(NDI HX Only) Select the NDI HX Quality button for the bandwidth presets you want to use. Higher quality means higher bit-rate, higher
resolution, and higher network bandwidth.
- Low (10-49%) — for use with poor network conditions, minimizing lag at the cost of video quality.
- Medium (50-99%) — for use with average network conditions, balancing image quality with network bandwidth usage.
- High (100-149%) — for use with good network conditions, prioritizing image quality at the cost of higher bandwidth.
- Ultra (150-400%) — for use with excellent network conditions where bandwidth is not a limitation.
Tip: Click the field below the preset button and use the punch-pad to enter a custom value to adjust bandwidth and quality of the NDI HX output stream. Use this to fine tune a balance between image quality and the bandwidth your network can support. -
Click on the Source button for the output that you want to assign a source to.
Note: Output 1 is locked to Program.
